Long Term Effects Of Exercise

Long Term Effects Of Exercise (heart)

The effects long term sport has on the heart. If you do loads and loads of exercise your heart will get bigger because it can't take all the pressure that's being put on it and the heart can't take it, so in effect the heart can't handle being too fit. Your heart can only handle so much exercise. But your muscles get stronger.

Down below there is a picture of a heart, as mentioned already, if you do too much exercise, it will get bigger what thappens is that it will push one side of the heart more the other way, normally it's level. Therefore if your too fit it will push over to one side. That's what happens when you do long term exercise.

Your heart is a muscle and it gets thicker and then grows out, so that's how your heart gets bigger.

Long Term Effects Of Exercise (Muscles)

Your muscles get bigger when you do long term training because you are training them everyday, for like 6 hours a day. They are used to lifting all the weights so they will adjust to the weights. If you haven't been to the gym in ages and you lifted a big weight you would struggle to lift it the first time, it would take you a while, and you would have to do it a couple of times to exercise your muscles. As you exercise your muscles tear a little bit, and when you feel pain when you exercise that is you pushing your muscles to get bigger. They tear a little bit each time you exercise. Then they closeup after and that makes the muscle bigger 


Long Term Effects Of Exercise (Respiration)  


When you breathe old air is released from your lungs and fresh air travels into your lungs which then take in all the oxygen. You have two lungs but they are not the same size, the left lung is slightly smaller as it has to leave room for the heart. Oxygen from the air in your lungs is passed into the blood and this is pumped around your body by the heart. If you exercise your lungs have bigger capacity to allow more oxygen to get into the blood stream and this helps the blood flow around your body better to the muscles which in turn means your muscles have more oxygen for exercise.




 

Stage 1

Aerobic Gylcolysis

In differentined tissues, aerobic gylcoysis converses alot of glucose to locate and only takes places in the absense of the oxygen
2ATP
4ATP
34ATP






Stage 2
Kreb Cycle
The kreb cycle is like a washing machine, because when you put the things like Aerobic Glycolysis and then it mixes it up and it produces carbon and oxygen so it makes Carbon dioxside.




Stage 3
Electron Transport Chain

When you breath you can see the steam on a cold day and that is the cO2 you are seeing.


 This is what the Electron Transport Chain does.. it goes around in circles..
34 Atp are produced from the electron transport chain

ATP System

After 10 seconds the ATP system runs out because that how long it lasts for.. after the ATP system runs out you start to use your Glycolysis system for the sugar and then after that, you start to use the lactic acid system, you use that for like 40 to 60 seconds and it slow's you down, the thing that slows you down isthe Lactic Acid System     

                                                         ATP brakes down to make ADP and it relsese energy into are mucsles. The ATP energy only lasts up to 10 seconds

Increase in tendon strength - When you exercise your tendon gets stronger
Increase in bone density - Exercise is known to increase bone density
Increase in thickness of hyaline cartilage
Increased production of synovil fluid

Short Terms effects of exercise

The short terms effect of exercise are when your doing sport and you only run for like a 10 and 20 second sprint like 200m and 100m and in the short term is using the ATP system so you use for 10 to 15 seconds. The short term effect is you  using the ATP system up.

Musculoskeletal System

The musculoskeletal system gives us the ability to move using the muscular and skeletal systems. The musculoskeletal system provides support, stability, and movement. The musculoskeletal system also protects vital organs, and it is made up of the body's bones (the skeleton), muscles, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, and joints.

You can measure the musculoskeletal system with blood and urine samples which can reveal levels of various minerals and other substances indicating disease or a musculoskeletal disorder.

You can also measure the electrical activity of muscles by measuring the speed at which nerve impulses travel along a nerve and this can shows whether the muscles are working normally.

Swollen or inflamed joints often contain an abundance of blood proteins that stick together, making them heavier than single cells. Measuring how fast these cells fall to the bottom of the tube indicates the level of inflammation.
 

A muscle biopsy means removing a small piece of the muscle to use to look for various musculoskeletal abnormalities, such as pain and inflammation and muscle wasting.

My results from the tests done in class were 19 before exercising (The Sit And Reach Test) and 21 after exercising. 

When you exercise there are several changes that can take place.  Exercise puts stress on tissue of the skeletal system which makes them stronger. It increases bone density making bones stronger. The hyaline cartilage at the end of bones becomes thicker and is better at shock absorption. Tendons become thicker and ligaments will stretch slightly helping the movement at the joint.
